When Notre Dame secured On3 five-star Guerby Lambert‘s services over Ohio State, Boston College and Harvard (yes, Harvard), it had visions of the West Roxbury (Mass.) Catholic Memorial giant as its next great offensive tackle after Joe Alt. Step one, apparently, is complete: Lambert will wear Alt’s old number. Notre Dame revealed new numbers for its summer-enrolling transfers in its summer roster update Friday, and the 6-foot-6, 290-pound blocker is listed as No. 76.

They continued to produce stifling defenses, excel at certain offensive po...
